Summary of the contracting process

North York Moors National Park Authority is procuring construction and groundworks to improve the existing overflow car park at Danby Lodge, Danby, North Yorkshire. The works are intended to support increased visitor demand and events at the visitor destination. The contractor will create approximately 60 parking spaces using a permeable cellular reinforcement system with a stone-filled finish, producing a durable, weather-resistant surface with a natural appearance. Surface water will be managed through the existing drainage infrastructure and French drain network. The works must avoid damaging the buried ground source heating pipework. The contractor will also work closely with the Authority’s woodland and ecology officers to deliver the approved plan while protecting the National Park setting and surrounding environmental interests. This is construction work (CPV 45000000).

The procurement has reached tender: the Authority invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries were due by 31 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The single lot has an estimated value of £80,000 excluding VAT (£100,000 including VAT). The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Evaluation is based on 40% relevant experience, 20% resources and capacity, and 40% price. Participation requires at least £5 million public liability and employers’ liability insurance, plus £1 million professional indemnity insurance. The contractor must demonstrate previous work of a similar style. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits construction contractors experienced in car park construction, groundworks and installation of permeable cellular reinforcement systems. Relevant experience of delivering similar works is important, and bidders must show they can provide sufficient resources and capacity to complete the project within the required contract period. Contractors should be able to work around existing buried infrastructure, including ground source heating pipes, and manage construction in an environmentally sensitive National Park setting. The requirement also suits businesses with experience of coordinating with woodland, ecology or other environmental officers and following approved plans. The Authority is seeking suppliers with public liability and employers’ liability insurance of at least £5 million and professional indemnity insurance of at least £1 million. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Danby Lodge overflow car park construction and groundworks

Notice Description

The North York Moors National Park Authority has undertaken a number of significant improvements at Danby Lodge in recent years as part of a wider strategy to enhance the site as a flagship visitor destination and support the Authority's second statutory purpose of promoting opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the National Park. To support these improvements and accommodate increasing visitor demand, the Authority is seeking to improve the existing overflow car park through the installation of a reinforced hardstanding surface capable of year-round use. The proposal will provide approximately 60 parking spaces within the footprint of the existing overflow parking area, which has been used for many years during periods of high visitor demand and to support events hosted at Danby Lodge. The development will utilise a permeable cellular reinforcement system with a stone-filled finish, creating a durable, weather-resistant surface whilst retaining a natural appearance appropriate to its National Park setting. The design has been developed to minimise visual impact and protect surrounding environmental interests. Surface water will continue to be managed through the existing drainage infrastructure, with runoff directed into the French drain network installed as part of previous site improvement works. The permeable nature of the proposed surfacing will assist with drainage and reduce ground disturbance associated with the current grassed surface. The proposed works have also been designed to avoid any impact on the existing ground source heating infrastructure located beneath the site. The reinforced surface will be constructed above the buried ground source pipe network, ensuring the continued operation and protection of this renewable energy system. The successful contractor will be expecting to work closely with our woodland and ecology Officers to ensure that approved plan is carried out as approved
